But They're NOT Cornish!
by johngayton about Barbican Pasty Co
It's kinda difficult to pass this little pasty shop even if you're not particularly hungry as the smells from the fresh baking pasties are just too tempting. Here they offer a range of different fillings, from the traditional to the exotic, and different sizes all freshly-baked in small batches.
Service is swift and friendly, prices are reasonable and the pasties filling and tasty. Despite being tempted by the more exotic offerings I stuck with a traditional "Steak and Vegetable" which for a couple of quid made for an ideal, and quite substantial, lunch to sit on the dockside to enjoy. Note that even though Plymouth is a stone's throw from Cornwall these are still Devon pasties, not Cornish ones!!

Hut circles at Grimspound
The runis of some 24 hut circles within this site, one of which has been restored, prove the existence here of a prehistoric village, probably of the Early Bronze period. The size of the enclosure measures 154 yards by 121 yards, and encloses about four acres. The stones are massive granite blocks, and there are signs that they were regularly laid in courses, and that a double wall existed, the intervening space being filled with turf and debris. The walls are now only some 3 or 4 feet in height, but this was probably originally more than double this height.

The Royal Dockyard and River Tamar
Try and visit the Royal Dockyard at Devonport, founded in 1691 by William of Orange. During the summer months conducted tours of the Dockyard are held, but I have no other details at this time. A different way to view the Dockyard is by way of a river cruise. Motor cruisers depart from the Barbican and cruise up the river to Calstock, passing the Dockyard en route. (Picture to follow).
